Hey Loc here, just came swinging by...

Hey there!

Hope you’ve had a great first half of your week.

Mine? Stressful, to say the least. I’ve been doing a bunch of stuff all at once, which goes against one of my life ethos and rules:

Focus on one thing at a time.

But just like most people, I’m a stubborn guy, so I try to juggle multiple things anyway.

Don’t stop reading just yet—I’m about to turn this into something that will help you out.

While juggling multiple things at once, I’ve learned a few lessons:

1. Don’t do it.

2. It’s possible, but it’s hard—and you need to meet two prerequisites.

Let’s dive into these points, especially in the context of fitness (though they apply to any area of life). I’ll also share what I’m dealing with right now.

Don’t Do It

Why shouldn’t you juggle multiple things at once? Why shouldn’t you superset chest with triceps, for example?

If you’re doing both half-heartedly, you risk injuring yourself—or at least sabotaging your progress.

I’ve noticed that, whether in fitness or other areas of life (like coding), you need to focus on mastering one aspect really well before adding something else.

That brings me to the second lesson, which is also one of the prerequisites:

It’s Possible, But Hard (and You Need to Meet 2 Prerequisites)

Yes, you can juggle multiple things at once, but you need to have these two things checked at all times:

1. Master one thing first.
   If you haven’t mastered the bench press yet, and you add tricep extensions on top of it, you could potentially injure yourself and mess up your entire progress.

   This applies to skills outside the gym too. For example, if you’re learning to code, focus on understanding one part of the language before trying to multitask.

   Otherwise, you’ll learn nothing, feel overwhelmed, and possibly hit mental burnout.

2. Have a solid plan.
   If you’re going to juggle multiple things, make sure you have a structured plan.

   For example, in training, it’s smarter to train your chest and triceps together because your triceps are already engaged during chest exercises.

This is something I’m learning firsthand while juggling two passions to make an income: coding and running a social media fitness business.

At this point, I’ve got a decent handle on writing content for Twitter and Threads, but in the beginning? It was brutal. Multitasking between content creation and coding gigs was a big no-no for me back then.

Now that content writing takes less mental bandwidth, I can stack coding on top of it. But I’ve discovered that planning is crucial. Constantly switching between writing content and coding creates mental chaos.

So, What’s the Takeaway?

If you’re planning to multitask, always ask yourself:

• Am I already comfortable doing one skill? Comfortable enough that it doesn’t take much mental effort?

If yes, you can add another task—but only if you have a structured plan in place.

That’s it for this email. If you want to multitask, I highly recommend sticking to this approach.

Kind regards,
Coach Loc

PS: I delayed the new Physique Analyzer AI app a bit for this very reason. My days were so unstructured that things slipped through the cracks. BUT—it’s dropping next week with a discount! So make sure you’re ready for it.
